You make a good point. He has operated in a certain sense as a conservative. However, his politics of the last couple of decades have not reflected that. In my mind that is the problem. I see two Donald Trumps, the present and the past. I am willing to be convinced that the present is real, albeit newly appeared, but I am not yet. I also don’t buy into the whole “Lyin’ Ted” shtick of his. I don’t believe him. It may have helped him stay ahead in the primary process, but it has also poisoned the well with many conservatives. In other words, it is penny wise but pound foolish. Far better it would have been for him to go with Ronald Reagan’s 11th Commandment.
Donald is the proverbial bull in the china shop. He may well clear the china shop of everyone and be the proprietor. But what will be left?
My concern as well. And to see former Cruz supporters poisoned makes me very uneasy about the fall and holding the senate/house.
The same could be said for Ted Cruz as well, because he certainly abandoned that commandment.
Oh well, I guess Cruz figured he had to do something, so he turned his back on his integrity and outsider status, went Machiavellian and joined the sleazy GOPe. And it didn't take long for them to rub off on him. Now, the two are indistinguishable from each other...
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. As far as Trump goes it’s obvious he isn’t a social conservative but I do believe he is a fiscal conservative. And understands the consequences of the debt we have accumulated. How that translates to the position that our country is in financially is I just don’t see any lawyer politicians getting us out of this mess. I think it will take somebody with an entirely different perspective. None of us know what’ll happen all we can do is vote our conscience and hope for the best.
